Weird People Sell Cars!

If you need a job, try selling cars.  It's a challenge and can result in earnings of

$100,000 USD or more per year.

If you can chew gum, breathe on glass and walk a straight line, there's a good

chance you can

get hired.  Some folks think it's a high calling.  Like being a physician or

something.

"My brother wants to sell cars.  Isn't that great?"

"Ha!  Sorry, but that is the end of the line!"  Just about anybody can get a job as

a car salesman!

Yes, there are many "creeps" out there.  Guys with gravy stains on their tie.

Guys who act

like they're on drugs (even though they have had a drug screen).  But if you

memorize two

important words, you'll probably be admired.  Remember to say:

"Yes, boss!" at all times.  It's like being a Private in the Army!  You don't argue,

don't ask for reason...just do it!  Do as you're ordered!

College degrees and education don't matter.  The ONLY thing they admire is if

you can sell cars!  Sell twenty cars a month and you a GOD!

Some degreed professionals have been spotted selling cars.  Such as

Engineers and state

licensed Chiropractors.  Some of these folks have student loans of $200,00!  So

they're trying to stay ahead of the bill collectors.

So you join the team of derelicts.  At least you're able to meet many new

people--people you wouldn't generally associate with!

Many dealers will start you on a salary for a few months, giving you some

guaranteed cash

until you become one of their robots.  The pay afterward is minimum wage (you

punch a

clock) or commission, whichever is greater.  Then in about 90 days:

You can have payroll deduction on your health insurance and other benefits.

You also

get a discount at the dealership on your vehicle repairs, and apparel supplies.

You'll probably

get a baseball cap advertising the brand you're selling.  Whoopee!!

You need a state license to sell cars.  As long as you don't have any felonies on

your record

you're generally OK.  The DMV issues a temporary license immediately (good

for about four

months) while your application is being processed.  Your permanent license is

good for

three years.

You can't get a license without first being hired by a dealer.  He fills in his portion

on the

paperwork and gives his address and dealer number and such.  You then go to

the DMV and pay your fee.

The main problem with being a salesman is the guys above you.  They give

orders like a drill sergeant and you do as ordered.  Immediately!

Unfortunately, there are still many out there who are from the "old school."  They

manage

by intimidation!  They don't treat anyone with respect.  Instead, they call you

" a piece of dung" and other wonderful names.

In sales meetings, you are constantly being told:  "OK you pieces of dung...I

want sales NOW!"

The salesman always catches the blame for no sales.  He is supposed to be the

miracle man

(or woman) who makes every customer a sale.

Come on, let's get real!  You then are told:  "If you can't sell, I'll get someone

else who can!"

You are told this hour after hour, day after day.

After a while, you start to get a little annoyed.  And you want to kill him!  Choke

him!  Run him

down in a car!  Yes, I'll go to jail.  BUT IT'S WORTH IT!!  He is dead!  Hooray!!

When you start to think like this, you then start looking around.

Maybe, just maybe, there is another dealership out there who might be a little

nicer!  Another dealership who knows how to treat employees!

You find one and leave (by the way, you NEVER give notice in the car biz.  If you

do, they'll fire you immediately!).

Ha!  I'm out of here!  So long, all you creeps!  I've been liberated!!

After a couple weeks at the new dealership, you find it isn't any different from

your old one!

Dang!  Can't a guy get a little respect anywhere?

Ah,  there's nothing like being a car salesman!  He's been trampled on and

berated!  He's been beaten-up!

But yes, he can now stand ANY abuse from anyone!
